The temperature's dropping and the holiday season is quickly approaching. If you want to get a jump on your holiday shopping, here are the best things to buy in November.

Every month, we look back at the best times to buy anything during the year, and pull out items each month to remind you what's coming. Obviously, none of this is to say you should go on a shopping spree—but if you've been holding off for a lower price on something, these are the things that get the sale treatment in November.

Digital Cameras: Cameras see some nice deals early in the year, but if you need one now, you'll probably see another round of deals coming off the latest announcements. According to Digital Photography School and Digital Camera HQ, check out older models for a lower price.

Gas Grills and Air Conditioners: Just like in September, most stores are trying to get rid of their summer gear. As Forbes says, no one wants to store the stuff no one is buying—it's cheaper to just sell it at a discount. So if you have the space to store it, stock up on your grills, air conditioners, and other summer-only items now.

Plants: Most plants aren't going to survive the harsh winter ahead, but if you have an indoor garden or greenhouse going on, Real Simple and Dealnews recommend picking up your new plants cheaply as the weather starts to cool down.

Toys & Games: Places like Toys R Us are starting to ramp up their holiday sales, so now's a good time to get kids' stuff at a discount—whether for Christmas gifts or not.

Wedding Supplies: As beautiful as it is, winter isn't exactly prime wedding season for most people, which means planning one gets a lot easier. Find a venue, negotiate services, and buy or rent supplies for much less as the fall and winter go on say Bankrate and Dealnews. Just don't go overboard—you can do a lot of trimming on your wedding budget if you know where to look.

November

Appliances: As we said in September and October, fall is a good time for appliances. Most new models start coming out around this time, says Bankrate, so pick up last year's leftovers at a discount. This is where the prices hit their lowest.

Candy: If you don't mind that your candy is shaped like ghosts, skeletons, and tombstones, November is a good time to stock up now that Halloween is over. Just don't go overboard—some candy is more unhealthy than the rest.

Televisions & Other Electronics: We don't need to tell you about this. If you can, hold out until Black Friday (or Cyber Monday, for you online shoppers) and grab some of the best electronics deals you'll find all year. Make sure it's really a deal before pulling the trigger, though (and keep an eye out for our Black Friday coverage as the day gets closer).

We'll be posting updates for you guys every month, so you're aware of the deals going on all year round. If you're curious to see what's coming up, you can always check out our full best time to buy guide to see the entire year at a glance.
